Climate

Climate typeClimate typePAGASA sorts the country's climate into four types by when the rain falls. Type I has a dry season from November to April and a wet one for the rest of the year; Type II has no dry season, with the most rain from December to February; Type III has a short dry season; Type IV has rain spread through the year.More in the glossary

Type III[33]

No clear rainiest time of year, and a short dry season of one to three months, in December to February or in March to May.

Read by Scene off PAGASA's climate map, so approximate: the type that covers most of the place's land.

Life & Economy

About 11 of every 100 people lived below the poverty line in 2021.
Poverty, 2021Poverty incidenceHow many of every 100 people live in families whose income is below the poverty line: what a person needs in a year for food and other basic needs, as the PSA sets it for each province. It is an estimate, from a survey or, for a town, a statistical model, so the PSA gives a range it is likely to fall in.More in the glossary
11.1% of people[20]Below the poverty line, by the PSA's estimate for every town.
Income classIncome classThe Department of Finance sorts provinces, cities and municipalities into classes by their average yearly income over recent years: 1st class has the most. It measures the local government's income, not how well off its people are.More in the glossary
1st class[4]
About 11 of every 100 people in Cabatuan lived below the poverty line in 2021 (11.1%)[20]

The PSA's model for every town puts it between 8.7% and 13.4%, with 90% confidence.

The PSA rates this estimate's reliability as acceptable rather than high: read it as a guide.

History & Identity

Created
Cabatuan was created as a municipality by Executive Order No. 293, signed by President Elpidio Quirino on 5 November 1949. It was cut from the western part of Cauayan and was to begin existing once its officials were appointed and qualified, no earlier than 15 November 1949.[9]

How it got its name

Local traditionThe town's own history page says the area was first called Ambatuan, a Kalingan word meaning no stones, although the settlers found many stones along the Magat River. The name later changed from Ambatuan to Cabatuan.[11]

Its story

The town's history page says the land beside the Magat River was home to Kalinga people before Ilocano settlers came. It describes the area being planned as an Ilocano settlement from 1912.[11]

Executive Order No. 293 of 5 November 1949 took the western part of Cauayan and made it the municipality of Cabatuan.[11]

The governor of Isabela led the inauguration on 30 November 1949, cutting the ribbon at the base of the Macañao Bridge in Barrio Luzon.[11]

The first local election was held on 1 November 1951.[12]
